  1. Right... you don't have to get defensive, the forum accepts you no matter what your orientation is.
  2. She's not a chick, we've been over this a bunch of times... I think. There is just that moment that we forget, and somebody comes along convinced that he's a she, and we all become doubtful for a moment.
  3. It makes sense, and if it's true, then it means that there is no dilemma, and the article was just made so the reporter could get people all worked up and become famous. I mean, stalling the internet? I don't know if anything could do that, let alone Vista.
  4. Even if there are two requests made, one for IPv4, and one for IPv6, nothing will slow down. The two are separate, right? That's why if you only have version 4, you can't use version 6. Or am I totally off about what goes on? And like you said Fio, it isn't going to connect to both, it will just request both until it gets one, right? So there won't be any more traffic on IPv4 than what already exists, because people will be switching over. If anything, there will be less traffic on IPv4 if there is any possibility that IPv6 is used anywhere. Or am I still totally off?
  5. Anyway, I want to know when we will get another PnP game going. CoF was thinking of DMing a CoC thing...
  6. And if any of you are into Battlestar Galactica, if you didn't know already, there are "webisodes" that lead to season three here. They are rather short, but whatever. Click on the currently advertised episode (at this moment, part two), and it will take you to the window from which you would view the episode. From there, you can choose to start wepisode 1 if you hadn't seen it yet.
  7. I will follow suit. 18 Brown God, computers, video games, soccer, squandering my free days by doing whatever I feel like doing, a couple internet message boards (one is Obsidian's). Post Hardcore, and anything that sounds good I just like good movies, which is non-genre specific RPG's, FPS's, Realistic Space-Flight Simulators Love Foolishness Generally positive, but I have my negative moments
  8. Here. To write a narrative like that in such a place, the guy is funny. And also, here is a really cool video of a racing video-game, with 1000 replays of cars going through a course. Excellent editing, a fun video.
  9. From what I hear there will be no Peragus deleted content restored Maybe because Peragus was supposed to be without any living soul... and Sith Troopers there make no sense whatsoever in the current plot? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Two thanks, one for the answer, the other for the explanation.
  10. BattleCookie, I'm compelled to ask, do you know if TSLRP is going to mend this little fiasco?
  11. thepixiesrock. He's not a product, but I thought he deserved to be here as an honourable mention.
  12. That just goes to show that K2 is an incomplete game... I blame Troika.
  13. The only way it makes sense is if Hades was relating a tactic to us, where he would go in first, get everyone to follow, and then run back. Such an action would be setting up his teammates to be in more danger than him, and in turn, the tactic or Hades can be labled lawful evil.
  14. Web Chess. I mean, I knew I wasn't good at chess, but I can't beat the computer with the default one second think-time. It seems like all its moves are infallible.
  15. It's been around for so long. Pretty fun to watch, but you don't want to get attached to it; Stargate SG1 is like an old stray dog that shows up at your door and looks cute, but you know it'll die in a year.
  16. Same here. I was just playing with a friend. It was a two on two game and my friend and I aren't the best of players, but we were using the mic's incessantly for tactical reasons, and we would cover each other in every direction: I would strafe right and he would walk forward and stop at the corner while I would continue around the corner. We threw smoke grenades in the middle of the level to distract the enemy. Oh, that was fun.
  17. Especially if there is bad blood in the beginning (e.g. a racial slur that really gets people angry, and then combining those two teams)
  18. Media sees controversy as a surefire way to get viewers. I'm curious myself as to how people will treat each other, that is, when things get heated up, if there will be racial slurs and junk that will force Jerry Springer guys to hop in between everyone. As Alanschu said, this could get ugly, which is probably another lure to get viewers.
  19. I think Obsidian's been very lucky to inherit two of Bio's games. Even though some of its devs came from BIS, Obsidian was a new name in the buisness, and it is often hard to get into the dough as a startup company. I'm just saying, Obsidian is probably grateful to Bioware for these first two "hand-me-downs".
  20. Use Trillian. No ads or anything, and you can manage your aim, icq, yahoo im, and msn instant messaging all in the same program, as well as be notified if you get any new e-mail for those respective services. It's free, and easy to use, and if I said anything else I would sound like an ad. http://www.ceruleanstudios.com. Go to Download Trillian Basic 3, because that's the one that's free. You'll like it, IM sure (oho, pun).
  21. I just played the free FEAR multiplayer. The game looks nice first of all, and the gameplay is pretty decent, but it isn't as good as Counter-Strike. I don't know if I am just used to CS and liked it better because of that, but there were strange things, like the bullet trails (which just shouldn't happen), and the overall movement was a little slow, fluid, but still slow: like molasses. The single-player is probably fun due to graphics and the assortment of weapons, but for multiplayer there are better games. Free is free though...
  22. Both of these are good concerns, but they can also be opposing. When you want to be completely safe, you have to surrender a lot of freedoms. But being completely free will invite a lot of bad to happen. The trick is to find the middle ground, and to know that there will be risks no matter what. It sucks, but that is the world we live in. Right, but some people get pretty worked up when the goverment gets more power. The ultimate fear is that the government gets more power than the people, becomes corrupt, and is able to stifle any opposition from the people. The idea that people think about when they are opposed to more governmental power is the "gradual compromise until it is too late" idea. I'm not saying that I agree with that belief as per our current government, but I'm pretty sure that's why people get worked up. It isn't an invalid idea: such gradual compromises in addition to ignorance have transpired in history that have ended up catastrophically on an international scale.
